Ok, so hear me out here: carbon sequesteration technology is improving, but I believe we can resolve the issue very simply:
We need more nuclear reactors so we can extract more alpha emitters from them, then we capture the alpha particles, chuck them in a storage ring accelerator, and start smashing them together for a triple-alpha process to make new carbon-12, which we can then burn to offset the CO2 sequrstering initiatives (and I guess we could generate power from the artificial coal burn and heat from the nuclear reactors as side products).

Or we could just use lots of nuke reactors and be happy.
Lets turn the moon into a giant nuclear reactor, or two, or three even.

I learnt private dependancy modules were a thing today
summer cedar
what are those? ๐
mild gust
Apparently something you need in c++ if you wanna use niagara privately
PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Niagara" });
I knew about the public side of it
Just never had to do it privately
Literally google didn't tell me shit about that error
Thanks cursor
At least when I looked it up all the results were only on public usage
summer cedar
What do you mean by using Niagara privately?
Does it work off of a cloud platform? Or do you mean something else?
mild gust
I have some private variables
and I guess I needed to do this to work?
Idk
I'm not gunna claim I know why
summer cedar
I am googling private variables. More things to learn.
OH, those....
Yeah, you're right.
mild gust
I am still getting used to adding modules
summer cedar
It makes sense that everything has to access the same thread as the private variable.
mild gust
Yeah
I learnt most of what I know of c++ from Stephen Ulibarri and I'm still learning.
agile leaf
You may want to read about encapsulation, is one of the fundamental features of OOP
broken sigil
```PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Niagara" });```
Public should work just fine too
All this does it baiscally controls how the included module can be used
If you include it as a private dependency you can use it from the implementation of your own module (so .cpp files), meaning any module that is including your module doesn't care about your private dependencies
Adding it to public means other modules that are including your have to care about it too because now your module can use it in the public facing API (headers), in other words your public api depends on the symbols from that other module
Would highly recommend not using using Cursor for learning ๐
mild gust
Okay well I do have it public also I just have some variables I was using privately, although I could probably get away with making them all public.
I am mostly using it when I can't find something
About the same time vs me googling sometimes
broken sigil
if you already did include it as a public then including it again as private shouldn't do anything
It's one or the other, they shouldn't be used together
mild gust
Fair enough
broken sigil
public by default will let you do what private will too
But private won't let you do what public would

mild gust
Empathy although powerful is sadly not as common as it used to be
summer cedar
NOT killing them all is the reason why we haven't declared an open war and gone nuts on them yet.

There's a certain irony of the US (and Israel) selling weapons to both India and Pakistan, but not wanting them to go to war.
Where's that profit motive when you need it?
summer cedar
If it wasn't the US selling weapons, everyone else would... and they are.
Besides, India relies more on Israeli and Russian tech + indigneous platforms (that's increasing a lot now), than US stuff.
I think what the US provides India is intelligence sharing. Other than the Apache helis we purchased a while ago, there's not much by way of equipment sales at the moment.
It's more the other way round. India supplies ammo to them. ๐

They're all spawning facing +x, and since they have a turn speed, they're more likely to want to walk straight instead of turn around
That also explains why groups heading in the +x direction are faster than -x groups
summer cedar
Then they must spawn on the average between +x and -x, so that they are all equally screwed up.

Sounds like a business

It's also insane luck based.
Theres certain tags and borders that get applied to the card to make it more expensive. So if a naturally expensive base card gets the most expensive border and the most expensive tag its gonna be good
The only problem is. It most likely will never get sold
errant raven
Sorta. Just worse
Every card in the game can have the different borders and tags. Unlike real life where only certain ones get printed in that, and ONLY in that
Like in yugioh, when phantastical dragon phantazmay was only printed in secret rare for a while.
I think its reprint was in ultimate rare or super rare

You get better cards if you buy the box that has 64 packs. But you can buy 2 boxes of the 32s, transfer the packs to a bigger emptier box. Leave the game, open it back up and the game treats that box like it was an actual 64 pack

Just eat cake
errant raven
I did eat the cake my brother got me tho. Scrapped off all the icing
I did get a lovely kingdom hearts shirt
Little did I know that it was a girls shirt
mild gust
Could be unisex
errant raven
Only figured that out after I bought it and put it on
errant raven
Nope it's a girls shirt
errant raven
The sleeves are shaped around a womans shoulders, not a mans
Rides up into my armpits, might just cut the sleeves off and turn into a tank top
Then itd be unisex
I'm not gonna be able to wear it at all once it gets washed

It's your shirt
War update: Air Force ops ongoing.
summer cedar
They can't reply. No air defences. ๐
mild gust
My co-worker and I said that was the shortest cease fire this year.
errant raven
Also wanted to buy some light novels but the place had no copies. Recommended manga instead. Dont want manga
summer cedar
Turns out, they were preparing to launch a ballistic missile.
mild gust
I thought Russia/ Ukraines cease fire was short
summer cedar
Nah. Those two aren't terrorists.
Terrorists are fickle-minded.
Ceasefire lasted all of what, 5 hours?
summer cedar
BUT, the ground activity has halted.
Apparently, it's Indian air power in action right now, nothing else.
I imagine the Pak drones and ground force will act tonight.
mild gust
So it looks bad on India then?
Since they are currently the aggressor
Israel, Hamas all over or what
summer cedar
Probably, at least on TikTok.
mild gust
People will start hating India and wanting to free Pakistan

Weird french thing yall got going up there in canada?
mild gust
I learnt from Randy Marsh
errant raven
These fuckin kittens man
mild gust
You havn't sold them yet
errant raven
Too young
I put 4 of the bigger ones outside on the porch, been feeding and watering them daily. Same with the two mons
My oldest cat is gone, and so are the 4 kittens I put out there.
I dont hear them playing under the house, and my cat who usually runs onto the porch when the door opens doesnt show up at all
I actually put all 5 of the older kittens out there. There was just 1 hiding under the tool box.
I'm pretty sure my mom came and took them to the shelter. Probably why they celebrated my birthday, to keep my distracted from that.
mild gust
Some people just don't get it though
You know?
Maybe they thought the cats were neglected
errant raven
The littler ones take priority on being indoors. The big ones are just too aggressive and big when it comes to nursing time.
errant raven
Maybe they thought the cats were neglected
Speaking of that
mild gust
My parents once thought a cat was neglected
errant raven
My younger brother thought I was abusing one the other day
errant raven
It was just the kittens fighting
mild gust
Lol
I had someone once think I was kicking their cat
When I had socks on playing with a cat
errant raven
He thought it again, but once again, it was just them fighting over nipples
errant raven
My oldest cat was acting very fucking weird tho
mild gust
Is it a she?
errant raven
She wouldn't eat none of the food, barely drunk water, would slouch and curl up when I approached. She had insane diarrhea, and her hair was falling out more than usual. Clearly very stressed and scared, but I have no idea why.
mild gust
Ah yeah
Idk what it is but I had a cat do similar
Was her last year
Could just be their skins irritable
At older age
So they start pulling at their fur
to relieve
She would pull out huge chunks of fur
errant raven
Mines not dying, I'm Assuming my older brother being outside using powertools and mowing the lawn every other day now is too noisy and stressing her out
She likes silence
errant raven
Nah shes had that for years. Being an outside cat it's a given
errant raven
I've never hit her
errant raven
I did feed her a bunch of tuna and chicken during her pregnancy, as always.
Probably a picky eater now, and not being able to have that over the dry kibble is making her upset
errant raven
Not even with a hug
She wont even let me hold her now
mild gust
I mean she's probably uncomfortable
Maybe not directly your fault who knows
But she may just want to be alone
errant raven
She used to love being carried around and would even press her body against my chest. But now she just wants down and lays in the position cats lay in when they're preparing to run away if needed, but still sleep.
mild gust
That's the cat that just gave birth?
errant raven
And it isnt just the hair that makes em look fat, they're fuckin fat
More well fed than I am
The first time she had babies, one of my neighbors came and took her kittens off the porch
Kept em
The third litter they came up and took one, which then died because their dog treated it like a chew toy
She does disappear sometimes, but it's really weird that the kittens are gone too, with 1 left behind. Why would they suddenly leave a bowl of food and clean water. And a warm bed, after being out there with it for a few days now
summer cedar
What about Bangladesh?
Sorry. I just finished bathing.
Bangaldesh's nobel prize winning president was making a lot of noise before the war began, about how Bangaldesh and China would occupy eastern Indian states.
The day we started firing back, his nobel holiness learned the benefits of absolute silence.

Why are people always so toxic in every competitive game, I started playing in chess.com and now, I'm not a good chess player, I'm trying to improve, I mostly play 10min but I decided to try some 3 min, now I'm not good obviously, now this guy, he actually had an early game blunder but then he beat me with a checkmate sends me an insulting message after the game calling me a 'bot', now of course I report the fella, but you know, wtf, who cares, you have 600 elo it's not like you're Kasparov my friend

That's basically my experience in every single competitive game even when I singlehandedly carry the team
Toxicity comes out either because they wanna make themselves feel superior or you are better than them and they don't want to admit their own mistakes

@mild gust Latest report: Modi just gave the middle finger to Trump. ๐คฃ

Republic TV, of course.
He basically said, "No 3rd party mediation is required. If they fire a shot, we will fire a bigger one." (paraphrasing, the first part is at Trump)
And just to enunciate the point, another air base flattened.
mild gust
That air base though
summer cedar
what about it?
mild gust
Welp just another piece of land left unrecognizable will be interesting to see if america goes to assist.
summer cedar
I doubt it. Here, I am probably talking out of my arse, but I THINK the Paks were doing some prep work with nukes there.
That air base or the second one was a nuke launch facility, or had nuke launch capability.
mild gust
I hope so
summer cedar
But, the reporting is sparse about that, so I am heavily speculating on the matter.
median wraith
wondering myself how they did this https://www.artstation.com/artwork/R3NyXv
the coast line aligned materials to the water
mild gust
wondering myself how they did this https://www.artstation.com/artwork/R3NyXv
Oceanology and fluidflux I believe have a similar solution
Some use textures
Some RT
Think oceanology they opted for virtual texture post processing.
For now
median wraith
What i'm looking there?
mild gust
RVT?
median wraith
looking the water direction
RVT don't solve this? I mean won't even have resolution for this?
mild gust
Oceanology used to do this
It sucks on anything over 4k landscapes
Also difficult for using w/ meshes
mild gust
Carefully
median wraith
Virtual Textures are just a baked texture non the purpose here
mild gust
There was a dev that they had to hire out
Think they worked w/ voxels
I could be wrong
median wraith
it's like they did a spline around the whole edge of water
median wraith
otherwise I don't see other option
median wraith
distance fields don't work for this
mild gust
All I know is earlier versions of oceanology I used had RVT manager that we used a texture to map to
That created that line around the coast
That you saw there
However it wasn't always accurate
median wraith
I have seen people placing splines around the coast that for sure
for even the edge waves
mild gust
It was a pain in the butt sometimes to align if you had landscapes that weren't at normal scales or elevations
Seems like a fluid flux thing
median wraith
if you do then sure need to bake it to a VT if you use a spline around the edge of the landscape
median wraith
for other things as you can see in normal texture, you use the elevation and then lerp there for wet effect thats easy
will ask on the graphics channel or something

In my project, I have a polyline for the coastline, and every vertex in the water mesh knows how far it is from the coast, which is used to color the material

celest musk

that sounds a bit overengineered ๐
you could render the landscape to an render target, cutoff everything below the water line and calculate the distance
or just encode the distance into a texture
that data may already exist if you use unreals water plugin btw.
median wraith
In my project, I have a polyline for the coastline, and every vertex in the wate...
by polyline you mean a mesh alike a spline?
I mean you can use the heightmap for that cannot you?
cursive crypt
that data may already exist if you use unreals water plugin btw.
I'm still salty I have found bug in their shader about how they sampled the distance between land and water... I hope they have found it and fixed it these days.
celest musk
Epic takes their time, and doesn't really respond to my bugreports anymore, but after all they end up fixing the things ๐
they even accepted my PR for a exposing some slate thing, which is probably an edge case that i'm using it.
considering they want to keep their API slim to not hit the dll limit, i'm surprised that this went through
cursive crypt
This shit with the dll needs a proper solution.
Too much depends on these exports.
celest musk
but i guess that needs kernel changes in windows?!
cursive crypt
Mmm... I haven't thought much, but I'm sure there are workarounds.
Windows PEs can f themselves with that limit too, btw.
celest musk
i guess epic has to split things up after all, having several dll's for things
cursive crypt
Out of my mind, they may try to consolidate some blocks into larger ones. Or provide some generic points for API calls. Or dunno what.

is there a simple way to transfer my C drive from one NVME to another?
summer cedar
You can clone your drive using EaseUS/EasyUS Partition Manager, or any other partition manager really.
You can also use Windows backup to create an image of your C drive and restore it to the other NVME.
After you backup and restore the drive to the new nvme, make sure you check whether it boots properly. Only then erase the old installation on the old drive.
unborn lotus
Its not simple. i barely did it because C had a stupid boot partition and without it win couldnt boot
I had to use the usb image to remake it
With another tool

I have a small feeling of dejection bouncing around my mind.
And it's because my comic strip looks really good (to me).
summer cedar
Of course. It's almost done. I hope I can finish it before 2 a.m. (20 minutes), otherwise, tomorrow.
But, how good it is has made me slightly sad.
I can't help but wonder how much time I've lost from not having the right equipment and money two decades ago.
Same profession. CG. Nothing new. But, how much progress I have made in just a few days of using this drawing monitor, makes me regret lost time.
But, 'tis a fleeting thought.
Heh. No. I mean, if I do add visual art to Ember Tell, it'll be with AI to help me.
Simply sketching that stuff would take AGES.
After this comic is finished, I am resuming my gaming projects. I've all the tools I need now, after all. ๐
I'll make the occasional comic strip to put on Instagram and/or my website.
It might become like a 'Dilbert' affair.
